Olympus 1s vs Pentax K200D Sensor Comparison

Normally, it is very tough to imagine the difference in sensor sizing just by checking out specifications. The graphic underneath will help give you a greater sense of the sensor dimensions in the 1s and K200D.

Plainly, each of the cameras have got different resolutions and different sensor sizing. The 1s featuring a smaller sensor is going to make shooting shallower depth of field tougher and the Olympus 1s will produce greater detail having its extra 2 Megapixels. Higher resolution will let you crop photographs much more aggressively. The fresher 1s should have an edge with regard to sensor innovation.
